IMPROVEMENT IN CCOKING'STOVES.

The Schedule -referred to in these Letters Paten-t part of the same.

I, WILLIAM L. MoDoWELL, ofthe city of Philaf. delphia, in the State of Pennsylvania, have-invented certain Improvements iu the Attachment cf Boiling Vessels to Stove's,.of which the following is a specification.

Nature /ml Objects of the Invention.

My invention relates to those removable boiling vessels which communicate with the tire-chambers ot' cooking-stoves by tubes extending therefrom into and around the hre-chambers through holes'made for the purpose in the side plates; and l .l'My invention consists of a flat, wide, rectangular chamber communicating with the interior of a boiling vessel and forming part of the same, so as to projectv horizontally from the one side into the fire-chamber through a corresponding rectangular opening in the plate and tire-lining, which together form 'the side wall f the tire-box, the said boiling vessel being supported safely upon a removable oven, having an open side, which will, when applied, fit closely against the said side plate of the lire-chamber, and thus he accurately closed therehy,`a ud theoven heated by direct radiation from the said plate.

Description of the Accompanying Drawing.

Figure 1 is a vertical central section, above the dot-ted Eine u w of fig. 2, of a cooking-stove with my im' provements attached thereto. v Y

Figure 2 is a plan view of'the upper side or top plate of the stove and of the boiling vessel, connected together in the same manner as is represented in fig. 1.

General Description.

The-stove A is of the usual Hat-top form of a cook` ing-stove, lhaving the usual bakiugfoven `a' in one` side, and the lire-box a" and ash-'pit a/" in the opposite side.

The boiling vessel B is in theform of'a wash-boiler, buthas a hollow intercommunicating dat chamber, b', which', forming a fixed part of the said vessel, projects same horizontal plane with the bottom of the vessel, and is made to enter easily througha corresponding opening in the side platea, and through the 1ining,'it` any be used, in the tirer-box a of' the stove, so as to expose its entering end directly`to the action of the products ofthe combustion of the fuelwithin the said tire-box. when the said boiling-vessel Bis securely time allow offan easyremoval of both together, or ofl the turning upward of either upon the other, as access to the interior of the boiler may require.

The plate a4- may be cast-thick enough to render the application ofthe usual lire-brick lining unnecessary. and at the same time to alordincreased heating eiect upon the attached cover b.

The oven C is made entirely open at one side, and is supported upon suitable legs or feet with its said open Side Closed by contact with the side plate c, which latter has suitable narrow anges, -5,cast upon it so that they may enter the open side of the said ovcn,

and, fitting closely againstthe sides ot the oven-plates thereat, thus produce sufficiently close joints between the said oven-chamber and the plate a* of the stove, while the top plate oi' the'said oven O receives directly upon itthebottom of the boiling vessel B, and thus supports the latter at the proper height to suit the adjustable connection of its projecting chamber b with the fire-box a".

` The front of the removable oven C is intended o be fitted with a door o1" doors-to give access to'tle interior, as occasion may require.

I do not desire to claim, broadly, the arrangement at the side of a cooking-stove of a removable over., 'supporting a boiler communicatingwiththe interior ofthe lire-chamber by means of tubes passing through the side or back plates of the stove; but what Idesire to secure by Letters Patent' is contined to the followingvclaim.

I claiml as my invention- A removable boiler, B, having a projecting, flat, rectangular chamber, b', made to enter the fire-chamber through the side plate c* of the tire-chamber thereof, and the supporting oven C, having one side madeopen and to iit against the said side plateof the fire-chamber, as and for the purposes hereinbefore set forth and described.

- WM. L. MCDOWELL.
